The no of pages for the Saturday's classfied sections of the ST has doubled over the last 2 weekends. Looks like a drastic increase in hiring is taking place right now. Rents should move higher very soon.

More adds means more LLs looking to let so more supply and rents will crash soon. Seems like the enblocs have started to get completed?

This is referring to the increasing classifieds as an indicator of rents increasingf soon and thus providing an oppurtunity to those who are in the midst of renewing their leases, etc to quickly lock in.
I guess it hurts you reading this.

Could it be more people are quitting after there 13th month bonus? It happens every year.
From Nov to Dec we couldn't get any locals to apply for positions. In the last 3 weeks we have seen 50 people looking for jobs.

Those who intend to quit after 13th mth do start looking for jobs earlier in Oct-Dec. |

wasiswas,
First off, please tell me your wassis? Two people with similar names and idiotic comments is going to get confusing.
Secondly, yes they may start looking but they don't leave until December (read: until they get paid the 13th month). This is why there are more open position come January.
Thirdly, this will continue but expect all this to die down a month after CNY when everyone is back from holidays.

maybe it should be rephrased differently: if there is sudden abundance of curry puffs does this mean that the price of curry puffs can be increased by the vendors? or does it mean that maybe a decrease of the price to compete with other vendors is necessary? uniquely Singaporean logic. |

Locals will not rent even if they are hired, they already stay in HDB. Expats arriving (preferrably with housing allowance) are the potential renters and we all know how few they are. This whole OP was a sad and irrelevant attempt to boost up the lagging rental market.  |

Since 50% of jobs here go to foreigners whether high or low level expats, higher no of classifieds can only mean more foreigners coming. Yes most jobs for expats do not get advertised but it is a clear indicator that the general job market is picking up aggressively. Rents have already increased and in 6 months time you guys will be crying. |

We will see if the classifieds section gets thinner at end Feb. Otherwise, you better ask your boss for a raise soon as a larger part of your salaries will be going to your rents. |

If you think that increasing rents is good for Singapore in the long run you are badly mistaken. Sooner or later everybody leaves |

crying soon,
50% of jobs go to foreigners? Wow. No wonder Singaporeans dont like FT with those numbers. I'd be pissed too.... If only that's was real.
It is not a clear indicator of the job market picking up aggressively.
ha ha ha ha,
What a stupid comment. You must be a local land lord or wassis.
